Echelon Fine Details AXT351007 Decals for 1/35 LAH Panzer IV(Ausf F1&F2s) &HG Panzer IV Ausf Gs

Water-slide Decals

Illustrating the LAH Panzer IV Ausf. F1s and F2s as they were stationed in France. Complete marking set featuring two different Dietrich emblems used, one before they were awarded with oak leaves, and the other with the oak leaf details. Both accurately captured. Not only that, the rear and front emblems were slightly different in size (carefully measured against plans). The full set of numbers comes in close-ended versions as well as open-ended ones. The digit "8" is the most unique of the lot with full circled outline at the bottom part (as seen on "318"). The "8" also comes with regular white outlined version without the full encirclement.

The second part of the set features the style of numbers used by the Pz.Rgt. "HG" when they were in Italy. The Ausf. Gs were the heavily skirted types and painted in tri-color camouflage.

How to apply water-slide decals:
1. Preparation: to achieve better result, a gloss or semi-gloss coat is very important. It will make a smooth layer which the decals will suction to and make it much easier to apply and set them.
2. Cut out the decal you need (do it on cutting mat)
3. Grab the decal with tweezers, place it on the surface of the water and leave it for about 20 seconds.
4. Remove the decal from the water and place it on paper towel to remove any excess water.
5. Apply decal solution to the part where the decal is to be placed.
6. Slide the decal off the backing paper on to the model. Using a paint brush or cotton bud is a good way to do this without damaging the decal.
7. Use the brush, knife or cotton bud to position the decal. Using your paper towel, gently dab the decal and soak up the excess water (decal softner is also recommended at this stage. After applying softner, the decal will suction to the part and flatten out smooth.)
8. When the decal is completely dry, give another coat of varnish or Klear/Future to seal it.
